Wellness (mostly for the girls…)

As many of you might know Granada is the home of the astonishing Alahmbra, a gigantic castle placed on the side of a cliff among the great Sierra Nevada mountains. The Alahmbra was built in the thirteenth century by king Mohammed ibn Yusuf ben Nasr, and is by such one of the most wellkept signs of the former arabic precense in Spain. On a small arabic note, aparently most words in spanish beginning with “Al” origins from arabic, which is very interesting as these take up a significant part of the spanish language.

Alhambra ranks no. 1 on our to-visit-list. To get a feel of Arabia today we visited the Hammam “Baño Arabes” (arabian baths). These baths are told to be similar to the original arabian baths on Alhambra, and are beautifully decorated with mosaiks, small fountains and marble floors. We went for the entire treatment: hot and cold pools and 25 min massage. Both a physical and mental stimulating experience. Girls - if you ever go to Granada - go visit Hammam. You can find the baths indicated in our map section.
